A teacher dies with his throat slit and two other people are injured after a stabbing at a high school in France

This Friday there was a stabbing at a high school in the French city of Arras (in the north of the country) that left a teacher dead and two others injured.. According to the French newspaper Le Figaro, the attacker – a former student – had entered the school and cut the teacher's throat while shouting Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest).

The events took place at 11:00 a.m.. Police sources have indicated to the BFMTV channel that the person stabbed was a teacher, while the director of the center is one of the injured, and that his condition is serious.. According to the aforementioned media, the third victim would be a technician at the center, whose life is in danger.

The assailant, about 20 years old and of Chechen origin, was being monitored by the secret services for his links to Islamic fundamentalism.. As a consequence, the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor's Office (PNAT) has announced in a statement that it has taken charge of the investigation into charges of terrorist murder, attempted terrorist murder and terrorist association to prepare attacks.

Shortly after the event, a video recorded from the windows of the school itself has quickly circulated on social networks.. In the images you can see how the attacker, armed with a knife, attacks different people in the patio of the establishment. “It's the vice principal,” can be heard in the sequence.
